There Was Something That Was Very Manly

I Am Singing A Genre Of Music That People Are Very Protective Of. I Am Being Compared To The Greatest Vocalist Of All Time.

I Had This Strange Belief, Perhaps Naively, That Somehow, If I Kept Working Hard, And I Kept Doing It With Integrity, That I Would Get My Chance.

If [my Son] Had Any Pain In Feeling That He Couldn't Express To Me, That Would Hurt.

I Get To Study And I Got To Mimic And What I Basically Did Was I Stole From Every Person That I Could Steal From. I Was An Imitator. That's What I Was. It Was Years Before I Could Take All Of These Things That I Loved About All Of These Different Artists And Put Them Together And Find My Voice.

I'm Not A Jazz Musician, Because, I Mean, Firstly, I Can't Play Anything. I'm Not Bad On The Tamborine. I Have A Certain Way With The Triangle. But I'm Not A Jazz Musician ... My Band, They Always Joke, They Always Say That I'm A Disposable, Pop, Jazz Superstar.
